IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

RICHARD FREDERICK POWELL, III, No. 79172 Petitioner, vs. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF FILED CLARK; AND THE HONORABLE ERIC JOHNSON, DISTRICT JUDGE, AUG 0 8 201S Respondents, A. BROWN PREOAE COURT and DEPUTY CLERK RENEE BAKER, WARDEN,; AND THE STATE OF NEVADA, Real Parties in Interest.

ORDER DENYING PETITION

This is an original pro se petition for a writ of mandamus seeking an order directing the district court to strike orders it has entered below, disqualify a district court judge, transfer petitioner's case to another department, appoint counsel, and sanction the Clark County District Attorney.

Problematically, petitioner has not provided this court with sufficient exhibits or other documentation that would support his claims for relief. See NRAP 21(a)(4) (providing the petitioner shall submit an appendix containing all documents "essential to understand the matters set forth •in the petition").

Therefore, without deciding on the merits of the claims raised, we decline to exercise our ori ginal jurisdiction in this matter, see NRS 34.160; NRAP 21(b); Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, SUPREME Comm OF NEVADA iq• 3310 (0) 1947A 461§X. 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004) ("Petitioned ] cardies] the burden of demonstrating that extraordinary relief is warranted."). Accordingly, we ORDER the petition DENIED.
